Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium beets (about 1 lb), scrubbed
- 2 large oranges, segmented
- 1 grapefruit, segmented
- 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and roast on a baking sheet for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While beets are roasting, peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit.
- Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them under running water; the skins should slide off easily.

- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar; toss gently to combine.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs before serving.
